Five classic Xbox 360 titles have been added to the growing list of Xbox One backwards compatible games.

The announcement was made by Microsoft, which brings to 30 the number of games which can be played through the Xbox One's backwards compatibility feature, reported the Express.

The games include "Final Fight: Double Impact," "Faery: Legends of Avalon," "Frogger 2," "Puzzlegeddon" and "Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut."

Although none of these games have scored high on Microsoft's most-requested feedback page, the release of "Deue Ex" is viewed as a significant development by gamers.

It's because the title's inclusion in the list of Xbox One backwards compatible games could be a sign that two-disk support may already be in place.

This could also mean that DLC content and other games can now be fully supported, particularly for those who own a large Xbox 360 catalogue.

The number of games that can be played via Xbox One backwards compatibility has been steadily increasing since the start of 2016, with new games set to be added to the list in the coming months.

In fact, last week saw a surge of titles for the next-gen console, which included arcade-type games, together with special "Star Wars" titles.

The good news is that Microsoft no longer ties an Xbox One backwards compatible games to particular release date, but instead releases them once they are ready to play.

And this is exactly what has happened for the past several months, where 25 games have been confirmed for release between April and May.

The titles include the highly-popular "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed" I and 2, which have become the most requested games.

Other recently added titles include "Dig Dug," "Samurai Shodown II", "Phantasy Star II"," Sonic and Knuckles" and  "Runner2."

Based on recent online posts, digital codes for all three Xbox One backwards compatible games will be available in June and July.
